up the results. The four having the
largest number of new ones in the list
are Blue Bull and George Wilkes, with
eight each, and Electioneer and Princeps,
with seven each. At the close of 1855
Blue Bull had 30 trotters and PAGERS in
the 2 80 list. five of which were foaled
in the standard, and - made themselves
standard by performance. These five are
all from Tom Hal 10000 and Tom Crow
der (933) and st. Lawrence (2), neither
noted as the sire of trOttng dams. One
is said to be by Pilot, Jr.. and thirteen
are entirely untraced. George Wilkes is
credited with "A in the list, 30 of which
were foaled in the standard, and nine
made themselves standard. Three of
these were entirely unknown. Six were
from mares by Mambrino Patchen, the
greatest sire of brood mares among the
MambrinO Chiefs. Six more are by other
sons of Mambrino Chief, or over one
I
mares by sons of Mambrino Chief.
The fastest Is out of Il pacing bred
mare that has produced two other = 30
trotters from different sires. When you
compare the two as sires of brood mares
Blue Bull has seven to George Wilkes
five, and Blue Bull has one, Bridget, that
has produced two , 80 foals.
Taking up the two next, II representa-
tive IIambletonian and Il representative
Mambrino Chief, we find Electioneer has
put seven into the list, and at the close
of 1855 he had twelve in the list. Kept
a number of years at the Stony Ford
| Farm as a stable companion to Messen-
ger Duroc. he has nothing to show for it,
either of his own get or the produce OF
his sons or daughters. All of the pro
duce of both horses, save one for each
up to 1856, were standard when they
were foaled. Electioneer has had the
best mares money could buy. The St
Glars have proved almost or quite a
great in California as brood mares as the
American Star mares in New York. anG
the Pilot, Jr.. mares in Kentucky; anG
while GOV. Stanford has been raising
such colts as Electricity, Manzanita anC

Neech, owner of Princeps, the premier
stallion Of Kentucky, has been writing
up the IIambletontan Star cross as desid
eratum of all that was great in trottins
speed, and Dictator as the sire par excel
lence, and has secured his son Director
at a rental that few farms could stand
and purchased ArthurtOn, sire of Arab
And while Princeps has sired less than
POO colts, if he had never done anything
but sire Trnket and Princeton from
lIambletonian dams his name would g,
down rs great. But he has now fourteen
in the list, over One-half of them before
they were five years old, and of II kim
